January 29

Having familiarized himself with the commission's materials, V. I. Lenin noted 
inaccuracies in the substantiation and sent them for reworking.
Beginning in January 1922, a thorough verification was conducted 
of all sums of losses from foreign military intervention, after which the magnitude 
of these losses was determined at 39 billion rubles. This sum, as 
claims against the Entente powers, was named by the Soviet delegation at the 
Genoa Conference.

A. A. Ioffe was a member of the Soviet delegation at the Genoa 
Conference.

RESOLUTION AND AMENDMENTS TO THE CONCLUDING TEXT
ON THE MATTER OF DETAINED PACKAGES

CONCLUSION
I consider it necessary:
1. To point out to comrade Fotieva the necessity of more 
thoughtfully organized receipt and delivery of secret 
and urgent special-purpose packages.
2. To propose 
to 
comrade 
Sotnikov 
to 
issue 
a 
reprimand 
to 
comrade Berzin for inexact execution of the instruction 
given to him.
3. To issue a stern reprimand to comrade Rudneva for 
frivolous, careless 
attitude 
toward 
her 
duties.

RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER OF THE DETENTION 
OF PACKAGES WITH URGENT LETTERS SENT 
BY COMRADE LENIN ON 24/1-22

4:30 p.m. — Pakaun handed over 2 folders to Berzin. Comrade Berzin 
knew that the folders contained letters from Vl. Il.
6:20 p.m. Berzin arrived by rail in Moscow.
7:10 p.m. Berzin came to the Council of People's Commissars and handed over the folders to comrade Rudneva, 
and according to Berzin's statement he said to her: "Hand these folders immediately 
to Fotieva, they are from V. I.," while according to Rudneva's statement: "There is no one 
in the secretariat. I am handing these folders over to you."
This handover took place without receipts in the duty room near the 
telephone booth, without witnesses. Rudneva, thinking that these were empty folders returned from V. I., 
placed them on the windowsill. About 15 minutes after this, 
comrade 
Rudneva went about her business to the library, telling no one 
anything about the received folders.
8:05 p.m. Vl. Il. called by telephone to inquire whether the folders had been received and 
whether the letters sent through Berzin had been distributed.
Lepeshinskaya spoke first with Vl. I., and then Fotieva. The conversation 
took place from the telephone booth. Since no one knew anything about the folders,

Agreed; 
with the indicated amendments 1.
